It was a medium-sized giraffid, resembling the modern okapi, with two long ossicones directly above its eyes, and relatively long and slender limbs. Fossils have been found in Greece, Romania, Ukraine, and Spain.{{cite journal | last = Lyras | first = George |author2=VandeGeer, A.A.E. | title = The Late Pliocene vertebrate fauna of Vatera (Lesvos Island, Greece) | journal = Cranium | volume = 24 | issue = 2 | pages = 11–24 | date = 2007 | url = http://users.uoa.gr/~glyras/projects/Vatera-Pliocene.pdf | accessdate = 2009-02-07}}
